R&D Tax Relief for Aerospace and Defence Companies
You could receive tax credits or tax deductions for your research and development expenditures. This helps reduce the financial burden of innovation and could allow you to reinvest the saved funds into further R&D initiatives, further accelerating innovation within your business and propelling the aerospace, defence and space sectors forward.
The benefits extend beyond immediate cost savings, as the R&D tax relief promotes growth, drives competitiveness, and fosters a culture of continuous improvement within the industry.
Designing and improving innovative propulsion technologies for use with sustainable sources of fuel (SAF, Hydrogen and electric), as well as engines with enhanced fuel efficiency or reduced emissions.

R&D activities aimed at enhancing the capabilities of UAVs and autonomous systems, including navigation, control systems, and integration of advanced sensors.
